STYLE | the simple things

Top- Monki (not online) / Jeans- Primark  / Sliders- Zara (no longer online) / Sunglasses- H&M

It's been a month since I last posted and it was for various reasons which I'll let pass, but I'm hopefully back to blogging for the long haul! I do very much hope that you all are fine and enjoying the Easter weekend. I'm back with a very simple outfit today. This is what you'll catch me wearing on the nothing days, where all we do is walk our dachshund, which If I'm honest is quite a lot lately! I'm in love with these sliders as much as all you other blogger gals and I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me when I say they are indeed the staple piece of the summer. 

I will most definitely not be MIA anymore and I hope to keep you updated with what I'm up too! 

Happy Easter!

STYLE | It's my birthday!

Dress- Glassons / Jacket- Forever 21 (not online) / Shoes- Zara / Necklace- Primark / Lipstick (ruby woo) - MAC

So on Saturday I celebrated my 25th birthday and I am totally in denial about getting old. Somebody pass me Bernard's Watch and we can stop time right now! Anyway it was a chance for me to wear my new shoes from my mama which indeed made me very happy. In a lovely shade of soft blue they were perfect with a simple LBD and my new white leather look biker from Forever 21 which I picked up a few weeks ago. A simple but effective outfit, do you agree?

p.s I reached 300 followers yesterday and I'd just like to say thank you to you lovely lot. When i'm feeling unmotivated that type of thing really does give me that push to carry on writing so THANK YOU SO MUCH!

STYLE | Zip It

Jumper- Zara / Necklace- Primark / Skirt- Zara / Coat- Zara / Bag- Debenhams / Shoes- Primark

Just a quick one today to show you that I have once again added ANOTHER item of powder blue clothing to my wardrobe. It is my favourite colour of the season and to be frank I just cannot get enough! The latest edition is this pu zip front skirt from Zara and at £25.99 it's the type of bargain that I really look forward to showing of. Paired with a simple black ensemble and a buttery leather tote in dove grey to continue the pastel hues. 

Have a great weekend

STYLE | Camo

Shirt- H&M / T-Shirt- Boyfriends / Coat- Vintage / Shorts- Uniqlo / Boots- Zara / Sunglasses- Debenhams

After the camo trend swept the high street I wasn't much of a fan, but when Christopher Kane worked his magic on the catwalk, he worked his magic on me too! A simple t-shirt mixed up with a crisp white shirt and some oversized shorts and I was ready for a day of shopping. Finished off with a military jacket and some ankle boots and voila, this was the result. A rather simple outfit, but I like wearing a trend that I was once quite dubious about. Thoughts on this look are very much welcome....

Top- Karen Walker / Trouser- Zara / Shoes- Primark / Bag- Sample Sale / Watch- Michael Kors

Boy oh boy am I excited to share these images with you! At weekend I was finally able to go back home to Manchester to meet our new pup. His name is Colin and he is just 9 weeks old and I can in fact share that I am totally in love with him. I couldn't resist getting him in a few shots, I mean how amazing is he?! So cute...

Anyway I'll give it to you that this outfit I wore on Saturday doesn't quite work with dog walking, but as he is only young he was simply posing for the snaps, the dog walking posts will come later! These leather trousers were on my wish list last week and I sneakily got them while out and about at the weekend. Teamed with some Primark heels and this amazing top by the wonderful Karen Walker and I was dressed for a rather sunny Saturday afternoon. Did you spend the sunny day somewhere great? I hope so!

STYLE | Powder Blue Tailoring

What I'm Wearing: Coat- Topshop / Jumper- Zara / Jeans- Topshop / Shoes- Debenhams / Bag- Debenhams / Dress- (under jumper) Glassons / Ring- Ebay

It's weekend and I couldn't be more thankful! After LFW last weekend I could barely keep my eyes open this week at work! Which reminds me I have some rather lovely news...I've been promoted to Assistant Buyer and I couldn't be happier! I expect much longer days, but I cannot wait for the challenge ahead. 

Anyway I thought I'd share with you some shots my boyfriend Ben took of me while we was at the Hospital last week. The top floor of the carpark is a pretty cool setting and there's amazing views of the whole of Manchester. Add in  beautiful sunset and I think he took some pretty lovely images. Do you agree?

STYLE | It was all yellow.

Jeans- Topshop

Shirt- Forever 21

Jacket- Topshop

Shoes- Henry Holland @ Debenhams

Bag- John Rocha @ Debenhams

Scarf- John Rocha @ Debenhams

I love, love, love anything oversized, so when I saw this babely yellow scarf in the sample sale at work I couldn't resist. My scarf collection has grown enormously this season, which I blame solely on the fact that I’ve only bought one coat this winter. Justified? Anyway, I just love scarves at the minute and I feel like this one has totally jazzed up a simple black ensemble.

Worn this weekend while puppy shopping, yes that’s right we are getting a Dachshund! He is the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen...We get him in 2 weeks and I cannot wait! If you haven’t already seen him on Instagram you can take a look here. Anyway I’m digressing this is the outfit I wore, my faithful Leigh jeans from Topshop and an oversized black shirt from forever 21. Teamed with my new Henry Holland at Debenhams shoes and I was set for the day.

What do you think, are you partial to a scarf or two?

STYLE | Nineties Throwback

Jumper- Zara

Skirt- Boohoo

Shirt- c/o boyfriend

Trainers- Saucony

Hat- Primark

I hope you're all having a great weekend so far. Today I've had to chance to wear this fabulous crackled pu skirt which I got from Boohoo recently. I teamed it with my new Zara Roll Neck (which is my favourite item at the moment). It's easy to throw on with anything and I think it works well here. Finished off with my boyfriend ben's plaid to create a casual 90's inspired look. What do you think?

STYLE | Clueless Girl

 

Jumper- Zara

Skirt- Charity Shop

Boots- Primark

Bomber- Monki

Backpack- Urban Outfitters (old)

Last week I apologised on twitter for being missing on the blogging front and originally I explained it was work being so busy, which it was. Then last week our family had some bad news. Without going into it too much detail cancer seems to have struck again and I must say I'm finding it rather difficult. I'm hoping that blogging will be a way for me to escape even if it is for an hour or so. Anyway I'm staying positive and all my fingers are crossed. 

I wore this outfit while lunching and quite honestly trying to take my mind of everything that's happening. I bought the jumper in the Zara sale for a mere £10, but it sucks as it is no longer online! The skirt is one of my favourite buys in the last few weeks. I got it from a charity shop for £3.50! Bargain hunter of the year? I think so!...

Anyway I hope to keep going with my blog and I'm looking to introduce some accessory focused posts, so watch out.

STYLE | Brogues & Neopreen

Jumper- COS (last season)

Jeans- Gap

Coat- Sample Sale

Socks- Topshop

Brogues- Office

Bag- Debenhams

Brogues. Something I've always been unsure about. I've always found it hard to style them up, without feeling like a boy without dress sense. My lovely boyfriend Ben bought them me and I cannot take them off my feet. Usually i'm in boots throughout winter so this makes a nice change, worn with my boyfriend jeans and knitted jumper I hopefully jazzed them up a little.
